Hi there!
Thanks for taking time to reach out to us tonight. It sounds like you are really concerned about your weight, and that you want to get things under control. One thing to keep in mind is that we are all different, and there are certain things that we can not control. If your family is bigger in size, then it might mean genetically it will be harder for you to be as thin as you desire. That is okay. You have to learn to appreciate your body for what it is. You do what you can to maintain a healthy size, and no one can expect anymore out of you. If you are really concerned about your weight, you can talk with your doctor. They can refer you to a nutritionist who can help you develop healthy meal plans, and an exercise routine. This is something that you can control, and work on.
If you can, you should consider going to your parents about your concerns. First of all, they can reassure you that you are beautiful the way you are. This is something we all need to hear from time to time. Talking to your parents can also get them to make that appointment with your doctor, so that you can get some healthy tips to get you in the appropriate weight brackets for your age. So it really would be wise to talk to your parents when you have a chance. There is no sense in working through this all alone. As always we are here for you too. If there is anything else that you are in need of help with, please know that you can reach out to us at anytime.
Wishing you the best,
Mandi, Counselor
